Problem:
Ferrous contamination could have seriously endangered the purity of the antiacid tablets produced By
Warner-Chilcott Laboratories in Morris Planes, NJ, USA.
Solution:
Following retrofit, all raw materials coming into the plant passed through Eriez Grate Magnets. Then, before the tablets were pressed, the antiacid mixture passed through
additional Eriez Grate Magnets.
The tablets were certified to be virtually 100 percent ferrous-free through the first seven years that the magnets were installed.
Problem:
Accurate, efficient, high volume production of pharmaceutical tablets requires automated packaging.
Solution:
Packaging
